Hi Steven
It's funny the names we come up with for "fussing" or being "fiddly" I have a friend who refers to this phenomenom as "dinkin". Guess it's all the same. Thanks for the info on the video and video rental. I did visit Rose Freymuth-Fraziers site and love her work. The "Self portrait with Odd's hat" shows the brushwork that I am so inspired by, very simple and powerful. I want to paint like that!
I have noticed on many of the paintings that I am drawn to will have areas of heavy paint application and areas of scraped down surface. Sort of like introducing opposites of angles and color temperature that keep a painting exciting. I especially love Burton Silverman's work and am amazed how he will scrape down areas and they will read beautifully.
You are right about being miserly with the paint. I make myself set out gobs of fresh paint out before each session and not just rely on what was on my palette previously. This is challenging for my frugal self but worth it.
Thanks again for the information
Vianna
